2nd Design At Rainham Floral Demonstration (11th October, 2017)

A collection of three pink crackled glass carafe-style vases, based on the theme of jam jars, using the floristry term of ‘Cut and plonk’! Where foliage and flowers are cut to different heights and added in a random manner into the containers, the idea is make a natural-looking display. The floral designs could be grouped together or used as stand alone displays. Here a mixture of foliage (ivy, leptospermum, camellia, geranium leaves, eucalyptus and birch twigs) are mixed with roses, Veronica, eryngium, carnations, hydrangea and lisianthus with a few felt butterflies added to give further interest.
